KG Forest
Nature provides a powerful learning environment and an inspiring place to explore and discover. At WAS’s rustic KG Forest, children will explore the mysteries of nature through a diverse range of activities, including sensory nature exploration, STEM experiment sessions, artistic design and creative expression, as well as outdoor games and physical development challenges. During this fascinating journey, children’s curiosity, creativity, social skills, emotional cognition, and both fine and gross motor abilities will all be nurtured and enhanced.

“At the WAS Changzhou Kindergarten Forest School Summer Camp, children will enjoy a vibrant, English-immersive environment where they can make the most of the summer. It is an excellent opportunity to develop new skills, build confidence, and create wonderful memories. Join us and give your child the best possible gift for their growth!”
The Kindergarten Forest School will design outdoor learning experiences rooted in nature education and tailored to each child. Children will step into woodland, grasslands and soil—identifying plants, collecting leaves, searching for insects, pitching tents and more. Through observing with their eyes, listening with their ears, touching with their hands, smelling with their noses and sensing with their hearts, children gain a truly unique growth experience. In the most authentic way, they begin to build their first understanding of the world, planting the seeds of curiosity that will nurture their future learning and development.
The KG Forest curriculum integrates a variety of fun sports and cooperative games. Amid abundant outdoor activities, children can improve their physical fitness and motor coordination, and boost their health and immunity. In light-hearted team activities, they enhance their social skills, develop brave and confident personalities, and create exclusive summer memories with their peers.
We believe that learning English is not simply about classroom instruction, but about developing language naturally through authentic contexts and real-life use. Guided by our international teachers, children take part in a series of engaging, theme-based activities that spark their interest in English through real-life and play-based settings. In a space where learning and play naturally intertwine, children grow in a well-rounded way. For example, they may read picture books and tell stories in the forest garden, or use natural materials for hands-on craft projects and science experiments. Through immediate practice and application, children experience how language is used across different contexts, enabling a relaxed and effective improvement in their English listening, speaking and reading skills.
